One unexpected hero this week. The Conjuring 4: Last Rites Objectively, The Conjuring 4 is not the worst film of the year, but I don’t give a shit. I absolutely despise it. I loathe every creatively bankrupt, flatly shot frame of this offensively overlong, self-important-to-the-point-of-delusional, and completely, 100% not scary horror franchise sequel. Apparently, it’sContinue reading “The Conjuring 4, Caught Stealing, & Splitsville – 2025 Movie Reviews”

2025 Movie Reviews: M3GAN 2.0 and The Women in the Yard
Nothing good this week. M3GAN 2.0 Full disclosure: I love M3GAN. Not the movie, the character. I love her stupid little dances. I love her bratty little voice, her psychotic programming, the way she inflects certain words, etc. Besides Chucky and Tiffany, she’s probably the most entertaining murderous doll character out there. So it deeplyContinue reading “2025 Movie Reviews: M3GAN 2.0 and The Women in the Yard”
2025 Movie Reviews: 28 Years Later & The Life of Chuck
A good one and a good-ish one in a very disappointing year so far for cinema. 28 Years Later Last weekend I was up north at my parents’ cabin, halfway through a bottle of something, standing on their patio overlooking a gorgeous serene lake with a couple industry-adjacent buddies (read: an agency creative and aContinue reading “2025 Movie Reviews: 28 Years Later & The Life of Chuck”

Around the time I started this site, I did a “Top 100 of the 1990s” with the intention of doing a new decade every year. I had meant to do a new decade every year, but as with life, stuff came up. I got overwhelmed by my primary responsibilities on this site: reviewing new filmContinue reading “Top 100 Films of 2000s: Part 4 (#70-61)”

2024 TV & Movie Reviews: True Detective: Night Country / The Taste of Things / How to Have Sex / Suitable Flesh / The Doom Generation / Lover Stalker Killer
Just Bs and Cs this week. True Detective: Night Country I had reasonably high expectations for a series starring Jodie Foster, produced by Moonlight‘s Barry Jenkins, and written and directed by talented filmmaker Issa López (Tigers Are Not Afraid). The biggest detractor for me was that Night Country was sporting the True Detective brand, which hasn’t meant much since the first and best seasonContinue reading “2024 TV & Movie Reviews: True Detective: Night Country / The Taste of Things / How to Have Sex / Suitable Flesh / The Doom Generation / Lover Stalker Killer”

However, I’ve seen my share of new content over the past month, so I decided to do some mini-reviews for ya’ll – 7 films,Continue reading “2024 TV & Movie MiniReviews: Godzilla Minus One, Zone of Interest, Beekeeper, Dumb Money, Eileen, Founders Day, Fargo, The Curse, The Passenger, American Nightmare”
2024 Movie Reviews: All of Us Strangers / Night Swim / They Cloned Tyrone
One clear loser this week. All of Us Strangers One film that needs more awards and audience attention is Andrew Haigh‘s All of Us Strangers, arguably the exceptional British auteur’s best. Perhaps it’s because every Oscar movie this season is big and loud with a capital L – Poor Things, Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer, etc. Not to mentionContinue reading “2024 Movie Reviews: All of Us Strangers / Night Swim / They Cloned Tyrone”
